Let's be honest, long eyelashes are a need, not a want. You want to be sure your lashes are always looking their best. The answer? Investing in a lash serum, of course.
Over recent years we have seen these brilliant conditioning products take centre stage as brands such as Revitalash, Glow For It and Benefit, have brought out their own versions for us all to enjoy. Whether you’re wanting to give your lashes some TLC or have an important event such as a wedding coming up, then we have you covered for the best lash serums to invest in.
What’s even better is some of these have been celeb-approved with the likes of Made In Chelsea's Sophie Habboo using UKLASH's Eyelash Serum in the run up to her wedding day to partner and podcast co-host, Jamie Laing last year. With Molly-Mae Hague taking to her YouTube channel to share her love of the same product.

Made with a formulation of vitamins and peptides to encourage lash growth and nourish your existing lashes, the Eyelash Serum from UKLASH is one to add to your beauty routine.
Unfortunately, though, not everyone is blessed with luscious lashes that would put their local lash tech out of business, or can afford a lash lift and tint every month. Sometimes false lashes are the only way through.
But fear not, friends. If you're tired of falsies and want your natural lashes to be the main event, eyelash serum will save the day – trust us, we’ve tried them ourselves and can’t get over the results.
Despite usually being associated with skincare (like these divine vitamin C serums), a serum is also incredibly beneficial for hair follicles as it can promote growth and contains many nourishing properties.
Serums for lash growth have been hot on the market recently, especially with the success of cult beauty brands like XLash, Revitalash and The Ordinary.
Ready to live your best lash life? Then look no further, because we've listed the best eyelash serums available to buy right now.
Gloriously long lashes await.

With countless eyelash serums on the market, you can’t help but question “do they really work?” Style Writer Ella Shire put RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner to the test.
“Unfortunately, I wasn’t blessed with long luscious lashes so I’ve always been on the hunt for new products that will give my lashes a boost. After only 12 weeks of using Revitalash I was astounded to see how long and thick my lashes had become and as a devoted mascara user, I can finally go out without wearing any. The application is quick and easy, and I recommend adding it to your nighttime routine. I can’t and won’t ever go back to not using an eyelash serum again.”

What ingredients should you look for in an eyelash serum?
Castor oil
Serums work to give your natural lashes a boost, especially if they contain oils such as castor oil.
According to Dr Nick Fisherman, a trichologist who works closely with Watermans, black castor oil, for example, is known to moisturise and increase hair growth.
"It also helps prevent hair breakage", he says, and it's safe to use on your eyelashes.
"Castor oil is a safe and proven remedy that has been used for a while to treat conditions like hair loss. Castor oil can thicken eyelashes if you use it continuously."
Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as the building blocks of collagen and keratin. Peptides can easily penetrate the hair follicle and can aid in preventing breakage and increasing moisture.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E can moisturise and strengthen the eyelashes and is found in many skincare and haircare products.
